There are too many mosques in this country

Screw infiltrating mosques. I'm not aware of one single muslim american who has ever perpetrated a terrorist attack on america.
We should be infiltrating NeoCon think tanks, and finding out which war they're going to lie us into next.
Current Death count:
Muslim Americans: Zero
American NeoCons: Half a million deaths, plus.

Ah... scary.
that's not what this is about dummy. This is about the constitution, and about american values. I don't even want the FBI doing random mass spying on Pentacostals.

It's an american value to allow anti-freedom theocrats to establish bases of operations in our country? I guess you reserve all your hostility for christians, who are much more mild.

Well many of us came to America to escape Christian theocratic rule. And many of us have been working ever since to restore Christian theocratic rule.
Christians are more mild ? What about the inquisitions?, the Crusades, the Hawians, the Inca ?

Christianity is far more extreme that Islam.

Community grows, thrives

Mahmoud Shalash recalls that, when he moved to Lexington 30 years ago, places for Muslims to gather and worship were few and far between.
"When I first moved here, students at the University of Kentucky were going to Friday prayers at the student center, and people in the community would go to the American Muslim Mission on Georgetown Street," Shalash said. "But things have changed. There's been a great deal of growth since I came to Lexington."
Indeed, Lexington now boasts two mosques -- one led by Shalash -- as well as an Islamic school. And mosques are proliferating all over the area -- in Richmond, in Danville, in London, in Frankfort.
And the days when a Muslim who moved to Lexington might struggle to find others of his or her faith in town are past.
Shalash notes that between 2,000 and 3,000 people now regularly turn out at Heritage Hall in downtown Lexington for Eid ul-Fiter, the celebration that marks the end of Ramadan.
None of that surprises Ihsan Bagby, associate professor of Arabic and Islamic studies at UK and imam at Masjid Bilal Ibn Rabah, a mosque on Russell Cave Road in Lexington. In 2001, Bagby co-wrote a national survey that identified more than 1,200 mosques in the United States. Bagby says he expects that a recount scheduled next year will show a substantial increase.
He estimates that there are at least 22 mosques operating in Kentucky today, although he said there might be some other, smaller ones he's unaware of.

I would certainly agree with him that Christians are more mild in the CURRENT era and I would say so in comparing the acts of the extremists of both.

Yep. You can conjure up no credible response so you resort to ad hominem attacks. You're not good at thinking.
Yes he is. He is in probably the most gerrymandered district I've seen on the map here. I don't know if we'll ever get him out, and he's been targeted. I have personally stood in front of the bastard's office on Park Avenue in Massapequa with a sign, more than once. The drunks in the bar across the street harrassed me, because they "went to school with Pete". Then they tried to buy me a drink. I swear this is all true. Old Republican drunks, kind of like BB.
One night me and my friend Sue were screwing around on one of our late night criminal runs that we do, and we hung a Halloween decoration of a vampire, which we had pasted a picture of King's face on the head, on his door. And it said "vampire alley". I know it's stupid and doesn't change anything, but it felt good and we laughed so hard. But actually getting him out, I don't know if that district can ever be turned, it's so fixed. I think he's in until he dies, as much as I hate to say that.

So you're pro theocracy? OR just pro groups that espouse theocracy?
Why do you assume it's either/or? You can be both.
